IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED. OVERCOATS AND CARRlAGE-ROBES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,360, dated October 27, 1874; application filed May 29, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNHARD LEVY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combined Carriage-Robe and Overcoat, of which the following is a specification:

The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Figure l is a plan view of the robe and coat as used for a robe. Figs. 2 and 3 represent the application of the article for a coat; and Figs. 4 and 5 are details, showing the contrivance of ,the sleeves for making wellformed shoulders.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I

I take a robe of buffalo or other skin, of the usual form, either with or withoutatop portion, B, and attach a hood, G 1), to the top, first attaching the part Bif the robe is not provided with it; also attach sleeves E and buttons I, and make pockets Hand button-holes K, thus converting the robe into a practicable coat. In attaching the sleeves, I make a slit, L, in the skin for the arm, and cut the sleeve in the pointed form, represented at M, on the end to be sewed to the skin, which throws out the top of the sleeve, and makes a sufficiently wellformed shoulder for a coat of this character. I arrange the pockets and the sleeves in such relation that when the article is to be used as a robe the sleeves may be secured so as not to be an ineumbrance to the robe by putting them in the pockets, as represented in Fig. 1. N is a button immediately below the back of the hood, by which to fasten down the top 0, when it is preferred to hold it back and use it as a collar, as represented in Fig. 3.

By the mode of attaching the sleeves which I have adopted, they fit alike either side out, so that the coat can be worn either way, thus, together with the use of a Water-proof lining, and buttons on both sides, making a coat adaptable to rainy weather.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent x 1. As a new article of manufacture, a robe having the top portion B, hood G D, sleeves E, and pockets H, eonstructed'and arranged as shown and described, so that the sleeves are outside when the article is used as a coat, but may be turned into the pockets when it is used as a robe.

2. The combination, with hood 0, having top D, of the robe, having button N, as shown and described, so that the piece 0 D may be used as a hood or collar.

B. LEVY.
